Head of Volunteer and Community Engagement, NGOHub

 

Syed Azmi Alhabshi is someone you would call an NGI (Non Government Individual). NGI is a newly recognised platform for individuals who actively make changes in society no matter how big or small, with the most minimal cost. NGIs thrive on ideas and dare to try new pilot innovations. Their main aim is to bring out more individuals to be changemakers in their local setting without the hassle of paperwork, group coordination, and man-made rules. Think of it as a fire starter.

 

 

Syed Azmi has a degree in Pharmacy from UKM and still practices his line of work till today in a small kampung shop. His main love is pharmaceutical care of the elderly which resonates with what he does on the sideline.

 

 

The causes that he champion have always been about the beneficiaries and he highlights these issues in his Facebook page Syed Azmi. The causes may not be big, sustainable or measurable but has an impact to the beneficiaries. To him, that is what matters. At this juncture, he has dabbled in more than 30 causes but as of 2016, he is streamlining his causes on alternative education,  poverty and employability,  mannerism and racial harmony based on knowledge, discussion,  excursion and an open mind. He did the infamous "I Want To Touch A Dog" event that led to him receiving death threats and scorn, but it also allowed him to leap higher to where he is now. With followers more than 100 thousand total with a diverse range of age, race and religion, he is now at his peak to reach out to many Malaysians.

By August, he will be embarking into a new adventure which will slowly slow down all of his current activities
